Education: A Better World For Our Children

Education is a mark of progress. Together with some rich nations around the world, each developing country strives to collaborate and invest on education, the simple way of creating a good and motivated workforce. An educated society is an investment of citizenship.

This new year 2011, the teaching habit of “I Share” revolves in various communities, as everyone: rich and poor alike, work hand in hand toward educating the young; and the future generation.

Fidelino “Daddy” Benzon (serving Paranaque City, ex-councilor, an advocate for educating the poor) tells about how anyone of us can help children and/or youth be sent to school through various projects. One of them is the “Send a Poor Child to School,” that is a project of the Rotary Club of Paranaque East. The project intends to provide basic education to poor and deserving children by way of extending financial assistance or subsidy to cover school expenses, other than tuition fees.

“Education is the road to a better world for our children,” D. Benzon says. “I am reminded of our persevering laundry woman of many years, who was hell-bent on sending her eldest daughter to a nursing school. She borrowed a sum of money to buy a piglet for fattening. Every morning, before reporting to work, she would collect slops as food for her piglet from neighboring subdivisions. The money that will be derived from the sale of the pig was meant to be used for the college education for her daughter.”

The Department of Education now and in the past, believes that poverty can be fought by building the capacity of students, and the curriculum of going back to the basics of reading, writing, arithmetic, values formation and more.

P-Noy’s stronger planks were educational reforms. Also, former Senator R. Roco (may God rest his soul, another advocate for good education), asserts that each person can learn and share with all the equal opportunity to continue learning and reap the benefits of education. This makes education to be a public and private partnership.

According to F. Benzon, “The Rotarian’s vision of individually or collectively doing their utmost to send some of these poor children to school,” upholds the Rotary’s (Paranaque East) objective to alleviate poverty; hence, increase the rate of literacy, as well, as assist in the manpower development in the community.

At present, there are 26 grantees from three public schools namely, Moonwalk National High School, Dr. Arcadio Santos National High School, and Sun Valley Elementary Schools, among others. The levels of grantees are in the third and fourth year high schools, and the fifth and sixth grades. This program was started during the school year 2010-2011 and is the flagship project of RCPE (Rotary Club of Paranaque East).

“Of course, education has always been a top priority of every Filipino. Most parents sacrifice a lot in order to provide good education for their children. Let us provide a better world for our children,” D. Benzon closes.

The Rotary Club of Paranaque East (R.I. District 3830) Officers are Beda L. Melgar is president, Ramel R. De Mesa is vice president (internal), Fidelino G. Benzon is vice president (external), and Larry N. Carino is secretary, among others.

Plan To Succeed With Information Product Creation: Why You Need To Split Your Process Up

One of the keys to succeeding in information product creation is to break the process up into discrete steps. This frequently isn’t an instinctive reaction for the typical information marketer. Especially on the internet where small sized learning products are the norm.

However, it is extremely important to your ultimate success. In fact, I would go so far as to say that if you don’t do this you probably won’t succeed… even when you are starting out let alone as you move forward.

Your product creation system should do this for you if only to help you to understand the overall task.

But why?

In this article, I’m going to ignore chunking and focus on the practical aspects. That’s not to say that chunking isn’t important. It is. It’s important to understanding and to learning the process. But while you can use the same chunks as you move forward, long term your focus needs to be on the operation of the system not the understanding of it. Unless of course you are constantly training new people!

So why is chunking important to long term use of the product creation process? (Yes, I know systems design uses a different term for this process but I’m not teaching you systems design. So I’m going to use the word learning content designers use.)

The first reason that having individual discrete tasks is important is one of schedule estimation. Frequently it is very difficult to estimate how long the total task of creating a product will take. After all, the size and type of the products matters as does the number of products in your product funnel. And those are just the most obvious elements. However, estimating a discrete task is often much easier. The total can then be estimated as the total of the discrete tasks.

Secondly, scheduling a large task can be problematic. However, by segmenting the task into a number of discrete tasks, you gain a much greater flexibility in scheduling. Not only that but as your business begins to add people you are able to schedule multiple people to the product creation.

Finally, segmenting a large task into smaller discrete tasks allows you to have much better control over the product creation. This affects two different areas — status and quality.

By segmenting your process into discrete tasks you are able to schedule and record the progress at much more detailed level. As a result you are more in control of the status of the product creation. You know what everyone is doing. When they should complete it. And how much it should cost. You also know exactly what has been done.

You also improve your overall quality. Instead of waiting until everything is done you can check quality as you go. This allows you to immediate react to low quality products without absorbing their costs. This means that you have less rework and your rework costs less. And if the product is not going to meet its quality requirement you will know about it in time to stop the development, change the requirement or fix the product.
